The selection methodology for these railway positions comprises multiple rigorous stages designed to assess candidates thoroughly. Initially, eligible applicants must appear for a Computer Based Test consisting of professional and general aptitude questions. Candidates applying for specific roles requiring practical proficiencies will undergo a mandatory skill test. Successful qualifiers from the computer test proceed to document verification, where original credentials and academic certificates are authenticated. Finally, candidates must clear a comprehensive medical fitness examination administered by railway medical authorities to ensure complete physical suitability for the designated responsibilities.
The computer-based test for most designations features one hundred multiple-choice questions carrying equal marks, to be completed within a duration of ninety minutes. The examination syllabus encompasses professional ability carrying fifty marks, general awareness worth fifteen marks, general intelligence and reasoning valued at fifteen marks, mathematics accounting for ten marks, and general science comprising ten marks. A negative marking scheme applies, resulting in the deduction of one-third of a mark for every incorrect response submitted by the candidate.
The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have initiated the fee refund process for candidates who appeared in the CBT-1 for the NTPC (Graduate) exam (CEN 05/2024). Candidates who faced failed transactions due to incorrect bank details can rectify their information through the official portal.
